The Land of Mathemaqic D. Wiseman while his students delve into the more mathematical probabilities important to the future. Mathematical wizard Mr. Anthony Russo explains to Jeri Beston a basic theorem. Jovial Mr. Harry Mann answers difficult questions from a stimulated math class. ANTHONY I. RUSSO HARRY 1.

VVISEMAN, JR. B.A., Vanderbilt M.A., Tulane Coordinator of Student Activities Debate GLADYS CI-IRISTAKOS B.Sc., Ohio State Translating the genius of Pythagoras, Euclid, Pascal and Rolle into practical usage is one of the aims of am- bitious math teachers. This venture begins in Algebra I, with fundamental principles. Cartesian planes, vari- ables, linear equations, and quadratics are concepts nec- essary for pragmatic applications as well as for work in higher mathematics. Working in their new surroundings-the trailers- geometricians prove theorems related to plane Hgures. New features'include use of the overhead projector, and trigonometry for advanced classes. Studying the vocabu- lary of mathematics, Algebra II students analyze inequal- ities, logarithms, and series, while mathematical induc- tion and delta challenge honors students. How to maneuver through Las Vegas in one handy C.P. coursev-the uses of College Preparatory Math are limitless! Besides probability, the year's Work covers trigonometry and conic sections, both of which pertain to scientific careers. Manifestation of previous math courses is reached in calculus, where selected seniors prepare for the Advanced Placement exam. The college text guides students through the dilferential and integral calculi, as well as analytic geometry. Another math elective is Senior Math, where career- bound students prepare for daily problems. Working on income tax, interest rates, and checking accounts, these seniors solve the problems of Hnaucial technicalities.

Element 105 . . . heart transplants . . . moon shots . . . science progresses at a phenomenal rate, seeking answers to urgent problems. A high school must en- lighten its students as to .both past and present trends in science and involve them in this development. With a faculty kept informed by individual studies, THS meets this challenge with success. An entirely new vocabulary is discovered in chemis- try, the study of matter and its changes-neutrino, mole, Ytterbium, and 6.023 X 1023. In the lab, abstract ideas become concrete actualities as students learn to make observations and draw conclusions. Innovative film loops clarify the lab Work. Fusing elements of physics and chemistry, physical science instills in freshmen a new awareness of their surroundings. Lab work in chemical bonding and re- actions, electricity, and mechanics, a newly added held, sparks the interest of many. Motivated to expand their ken to a multitude of topics, juniors accept the challenge of physics. Changing with the times, this department purchased and introduced a helium-neon laser and a cathode ray tube this year. New areas of study include microwaves and computers. On Saturday mornings, a group of inspired seniors seek further involvement by attending informal lectures on advanced realms. 29
